Tutorial - How to make an iron on patch with your embroidery machine

Welcome to my first embroidery tutorial!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it, I've struggled making patches in the past so wanted to share what I have learned and hope it is useful.

The Kawaii Avocado design I've included is my own illustration, digitised myself so feel free to use it but it would be awesome if you would credit me if you do.
Thank you for watching and please like and subscribe or leave a comment if you would like to see anymore tutorials!

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned it. But it's easier to do a straight stitch on the avocado seed, take the hoop off machine, cut off extra material, then do your satin stitch on top.

[@vickys-cottage]

Exciting! Have fun with it! Blessed be to you too x

[@nyab7191]

Thank you so much I didn’t know that the heat and bond was to make patches, I tought it was only to keep the fabric thicker.

[@grossface]

Thanks for the video, very helpful !!

[@katpuppy-love1923]

You have a very soothing voice! Thank you for the tips. I am going to purchase the applique scissors, and the little Fiskars.

[@CriticasDeCineEn2Minutos]

great tip!, thanks for the info

[@sleeplesscrafter]

Thank you for this! I had been carefully cutting the fabric around it before the satin stitch and because I have a painful wrist condition, it was hurting so much! Now I know I can just finish the whole appliqué and cut it around the satin stitch. This video is a lifesaver!

[@cindycollins2751]

I struggle with hand cramps when doing tiny cutting, so i now use vinyl (they have matte) and tear it away then heat press it- its faster and works for me- I love having the glitter option as well!

[@Sewing_Keepsakes]

So cute!!

[@jonathan.ruagil]

Welcome to my embroidery channel

[@ISetMyFriendsOnFire]

Hey there this a great video thank you for doing so! Can you tell me what size needle is best for you these fabrics? And exactly which tear away stabilizer are you using? And last question is there any other fabrics you use that are good for patches?

[@BoricuaEnCt69]

Just came across this video. I love it pls make more videos. Tu

[@vickys-cottage]

Thank you, I will try! :)

[@trentm31]

What machine do you have ? Love this tutorial !

[@rebeccalipe6382]

Excellent thanks for sharing 11:37 😊

[@christinerutherford3462]

Great tutorial....once the patch is ironed onto the item does the adhesive keep the patch in place even after multiple washes

[@Tatoochavez]

You have so beautiful hands. Cute cute cute.

[@vickys-cottage]

Thank you :)

[@pbtubelog]

Hi, thank you for your video. I have a question tho... Can you pre-cut all the shapes, position on location to the applique area and have a satin border go half way its line width into the fabric? Thanks

[@amechealle5918]

Great tutorial! I went to get the pattern but my computer won’t let me get on your site saying it’s unsafe.

[@beautfaithS]

Can you machine wash and dry of the clothes with the iron on patches?

[@sandan2358]

Just what I need to use on the holes my brothers dog chewed into his king sized quilt.

[@PaulHammill-pq7bd]

Where is the link for patch

[@lizziderby]

what software did you use to digitize your design?

[@MagsJuanart]

Very interesting informative, what do call to the adhesive paper you put in the back of the patches where can I buy For it?..

[@beebeej1]

Heat and bond .. Amazon sells it

[@lisacarroll3601]

Do you ever find the spray adhesive and or tack glue gums your needle and or machine? Just curious as the store I bought my machine from said it would. Is there a solution to remedy this?

[@vickys-cottage]

I haven't found any issues with the needle, but it definitely makes the top of the machine sticky so I make sure to clean it regularly. I do change my needle quite a bit though, so maybe it is causing issues with it.

[@emila732]

hi, what type of threads do you use ? poliester ?

[@talithacastaneda8068]

Could you do this with hand embroidery? It's so cute!!!

[@vickys-cottage]

Definitely! The iron on process would be exactly the same, the only main difference would be the embroidery machine makes quite a flat stitch which allows the glue to get a good fix onto it. Let me know if you give it a try! :)

[@pdxshawty]

Do you know of a comparable machine with a smaller price tag? Something for hobby embroidery and sewing if possible.

[@vickys-cottage]

You can find some good deals second hand, the cheapest one I've found is the Brother Innov-Is F440E. You can get cheaper combination models, but I've found them not to be very reliable. Good luck with your embroidery! :)

[@raggytigger217]

You need to do more videos x

[@vickys-cottage]

That’s very kind 😊 more coming soon! X

[@sandraritchie8106]

I want to learn how to do a custom logo patch. I'm an embroidery beginner and it seems a little overwhelming. To start once hooped how to I do the outline or shape of patch? Andy then can I embroider a logo inside outline? Thanks

[@vickys-cottage]

Hey, most patterns come with an outline which will stitch first, to add a logo you would likely need a digitising software x

[@hanifzainal8862]

What type of machine u use? Brother?

[@vickys-cottage]

It's a Janome Memory Craft 350e

[@AnnieCappuccino]

Great video. Where can I find the raccoon file?

[@vickys-cottage]

Thank you I haven't put up the files for anything just yet. I'll let you know when I do

[@nyab7191]

Any more videos coming ??

[@Icy-ih9iv]

Can you use a sewing machine for embroidery stitching?

[@vickys-cottage]

Hiya, there are some combination machines which do sewing and some embroidery. Or you could try using a zigzag stitch for the edging but it would all be manual work which can be tricky x

[@savingmayberry387]

oh my god you're adorable

[@vickys-cottage]

Haha thanks

[@chrishorton1793]

B

[@tgedi8413]

do we have to use felt or adhesive?

[@vickys-cottage]

Felt is great for patches as it’s strong but other fabrics will work too, I would avoid thin and floaty or stretchy fabrics though 🙂 x
